IF statement with LEN, LEFT & RIGHT formulas
Hello, new to Power Bi, sorry if this is a basic question.
I have a column with 2 types of data (lets call it Flight No Colunn) : BA254/BA879 and BA463/548
I have created a helper column that returns the length of each cell (11 or 9)
I would like to create an if command like this:
IF(LEN[Flight No Column]=11, RIGHT[Flight No Column, 5], CONCATENATE(LEFT([Flight No Column], 2), RIGHT([Flight No Column], 5))
However, this does not work as I am combining numbers with text in the same formula.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you very much
i only changed the position of the parentheses
Column 2 = IF(LEN(Table1[Flight No Column]) =11, RIGHT(Table1[Flight No Column], 5), CONCATENATE(LEFT(Table1[Flight No Column], 2), RIGHT(Table1[Flight No Column], 3))

Can you provide an example of the output you are looking for in both scenarios (LEN 9 and 11). I ran your code, adding the appropriate () and this is the result:
Thank you for your time. Trying to replicate your code i get this
if (LEN(Table1[Column]) = 11, right(Table1[Column],5), CONCATENATE(left(Table1[Column],2),RIGHT(Table1[Column],3)))
is the correct function
